2009-11-18 Thread Leung Ruby
I set up drbd on 2 nodes, they used to connect to each other at once on startup, but after a computer crash, they take forever to synchronize! Here's what I got from my primary node when I did a "cat /proc/drbd". 0: cs:SyncTarget ro:Secondary/Primary ds:Inconsistent/UpToDate C r ns:0 nr:3

Tyler, You're using a default RPM configuration, which sets the RPM paths somewhere below /usr/src/redhat, which you most likely don't have write permission for. Set up a build hierarchy in your home directory, and set your paths in your ~/.rpmmacros file properly. And "rpmbuild -tb", and thus m
